Die Hard again, hurt feelings, and one snowman that emotionally wrecked the room

We sat down and recorded 12 episodes all about Christmas. Our favorite Christmas movies, our favorite Santa, our worst Santa, the soundtracks we love. A little insight into who we are and what we actually care about this time of year.

Lethal Weapon gets thrown into the mix with full confidence, backed by arguments about setting, timing, and action-movie credibility. Mean Girls lands purely on the strength of Jingle Bell Rock, which opens the door to personal holiday memories doing more work than logic. Then Jack Frost changes the tone entirely. What starts as an odd pick turns into a genuinely emotional moment that reminds everyone why holiday movies hit harder than expected.

What We Cover

• Why the definition of a Christmas movie breaks down fast
• The Die Hard debate and why it refuses to go away
•  Action movies that take place during Christmas
•  How one song can anchor a movie to the holidays
•  A Jack Frost moment that catches everyone off guard

The Movies

• Some movies become Christmas movies because people keep showing up for them every December. That’s it. No rules. No checklist. If it’s on every year and you don’t skip it, congrats, it’s a Christmas movie now.
• Setting does more work than people want to admit. Put a story during Christmas, add a little emotion, and people will fight to the death that it counts. Explosions, cops, or bad decisions don’t disqualify it.
• Nostalgia wins every argument. What was on TV in your house matters more than logic ever will. These picks aren’t about being right, they’re about memory and habit.
• Mean Girls proves how low the bar actually is. One song, one scene, and suddenly a movie with zero holiday intent gets Christmas status for life. You don’t have to like it, but you’re not changing anyone’s mind.
• Jack Frost flips the room because it stops being funny and starts being real. Loss, family, and time hit harder around the holidays, and this one goes straight there. Not everyone’s favorite, but hard to ignore once it lands.
